During a home visit, an OT notices a client's caregiver appears exhausted and overwhelmed. The OT's PRIMARY responsibility is to:

A therapist is using constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) with a stroke patient. What is the PRIMARY rationale?
Answer: Prevent learned non-use by forcing use of the affected limb
CIMT constrains the unaffected limb to overcome learned non-use and drive neuroplastic reorganization in the affected limb.
Which positioning is recommended to prevent pressure injuries in a client who is seated in a wheelchair?
Answer: 90-90-90 position with a pressure-relief cushion
The 90-90-90 position (hips, knees, ankles at 90°) with a pressure-relief cushion distributes weight evenly and reduces ischial pressure.
Which occupational therapy practice model views the client as an open system interacting with environment through input, throughput, and output?
Answer: Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)
MOHO conceptualizes the person as an open system with subsystems (volition, habituation, performance capacity) continuously interacting with the environment.
